Little addition:

This is not some "Russian Cuirassier", but one of the Guard! And also an officer, namely a lieutenant!

And you can either paint as "Life Guard" or "Chevalier Guard" - except for very little details, the uniforms were identical !!






Cheers

My sources..:
Helmet Life Guards (silver guards star)...:

Not. This is a hiking helmet for officers of the Guards heavy cavalry (Chevalier Guards, Life Guards Horse, Lifeguards Cuirassiers, Lifeguards Dragoons and Guards Horse Artillery) mod. 1808, ceremonial from 1811. An eight-pointed star speaks of belonging to the guard, that this officer's helmet is saying that the star is a silver consignment note.

Helmet Chevalier Guards (golden star)..:

Not. This is a helmet for the lower ranks (private and NCO) of the guards heavy cavalry mod. 1808. The eight-pointed star speaks of belonging to the guard, that this is a helmet for the lower ranks - a minted star.

Uniform of both units (officers)...:

This uniform is later, which year I don't know, but definitely not earlier than 1817.

This is the officer's sash of the reign of Nicholas I.
And during the reign of Alexander, the officers' sashes looked like this.

As for the Kolett, I agree with you!

Of course it has to have TWO button rows...:



I confused my folders.

These pictures are the right ones ...:












Thx!

Of course it has to have TWO button rows...

There, in addition to buttons, there are still some details characteristic for kolett of a later type.

These pictures are the right ones ...:

And this outfit kit is almost perfect. Some researchers of the Russian uniform may have disputes about whether in 1812 there was an open collar or was already closed on hooks, but this is a question of a completely different complexity. )))

Just superb. Great to see so many quality figures coming from Russia. One for me to get round to, eventually…
